Subtitle appearance

Post by Guddu »

The Subtitle appearance feature is not working as I was expecting it to.

Whatever changes I make to the appearance are not getting reflected in the preview (and not in the final DCP output either)...This includes text colour, Outline or Shadow effect. The subtitle XML (Interop format) can specify italics, borders etc. Which one should take precedence?

In the player it looks like http://prntscr.com/hvefny Not sure how it will look on the cinema screen. I don't have access to a projector at this moment unfortunately.

Should be fixed now in the current test version - for both basic subtitle files (e.g. srt) as well as separate xml files or xml subs being part of a subtitled DCP.
